Michael McGuire Where Beauty Cannot Be
WHERE BEAUTY CANNOT BE
© Electric Babylon Music Author: M.M.
I left on a journey my soul is up ahead, they try to tell me you cant
understand life until your dead, I kept moving toward mr vision moving
toward the light, I knew I was wrong I knew I was right, I moved thru the
future I sorted thru the past, I was just a shadow the time the artist had
cast, I was swept up by the current carried by the stream, I’m the mighty
sleeper creator of the dream.
I close my eyes for I cannot see, beauty is blind where beauty cannot be.
I came to know the rivers depth I came to drown my thirst, I came to
know at last what I knew from the first, the ways of the world seemed not
fit for man, I saw a stairway to the stars so off I ran, my mind went blank
my vision it blurred, till I was sought out by my solitude hunted by the
word, I thought it was a dream couldn’t believe it was real, I couldn’t
trust my feelings so I tried not to feel.
I close my eyes for I cannot see, beauty is blind where beauty cannot be.
I’m still on this road trying to find my way, and the difference between
what we do and what we say, I cant help but wonder I cant help but strive,
I just cannot take for granted the fact that I’m alive, the spirit of the water
the ghost of the field, this foggy light for which my passions yield, bring
me a rose bring me a thorn, I know why I’m dying just to be reborn.
And now I know my vision comes from me, I am blind where beauty
cannot be.
